The Institute of Military Technology

Thursday, July 21st, 2011

We recently found out that, naturally enough, Knight’s Armament Corp has a collection of Weapons, Military Vehicles and “Significant Memorabilia.” Unlike many collections which are kept under lock and key, KAC has decided to turn them into a sort of museum. Formed from the private collection of Reed Knight Jr, it is better known as The Institute of Military Technology. According their website, IMT “exists to Preserve, Educated and Motivate anyone who peruses this extensive collection.”

Here you can see the Hall of Armor which is joined by the Hall of Modern Arms and Hall of US Arms. In addition to eduction, the collection also serves as a “reference library” for weapons that are available for study by researchers at KAC.

The Institute of Military Technology is located in Titusville, Florida. To learn more, check out the website. www.instmiltech.com

The SureFire MAG5-60 in Action

Tuesday, July 19th, 2011

SureFire fans Patriot36 produced this demonstration of the MAG5-60 with an M16A2, LWRC SBR, and FN SCAR. All-in-all, they are well built magazines; manufactured to spec. Unfortunately, the team didn’t demonstrate the compatibility of the magazines with out-of-spec receivers. As with the PMAG, this has been the only issue we have seen with the SureFire magazines. However, they do run like a sewing machine in mil-spec weapons. The problem isn’t with the magazines. They are built properly. It’s the guns that shooters try to use them with that are the issue. Normally, out-of-spec guns rifles wouldn’t be a problem but the USMC’s adoption of the M27 IAR from H&K has made this a bit of an issue, despite the Marines’ purchase of a fairly small numbers of this 416 variant.

Battle Ready PMAG

Tuesday, July 19th, 2011

STAT International has been offered the exclusive distribution rights to the Battle Ready PMAG (BRP). It is a modified PMAG with a stippling process. Stippling is a heat treatment texture given to plastic/polymer which in this case, will enhance the shooter’s grip on the magazine. GPI Custom Gunworks developed the process used on these PMAGs which can consistently treat 60 per hour.

As you can see, the BRP is made from a non-window 30 round PMAG. New BRPs can be purchased for $20.00 or you can send yours in to be treated for $5.00 per magazine plus shipping. EMAGs are next.

Interested parties should contact info@statintl.com.

Redback One’s custom designed Combat Pistol Sights are now in production and should be ready in a few weeks. At first they’ll only be available for Glock model handguns but they may add other pistols based upon demand.

According to RB1, they have been working on these sights over several months of T&E to find the perfect match of height, width and depth to produce a pair of combat sights that shoot Point Of Aim/Point Of Impact at all ranges out to 100m. They are being produced by 10-8 Performance who have a great reputation for producing quality sights.

Interested parties should contact RB1 to reserve theirs.

Acknowledge This Popular Mechanics

Thursday, July 14th, 2011

Turns out Popular Mechanics found out about the HK 416’s role in the demise of one Osama bin Mohammed bin Awad bin Laden from websites like this one. Too bad they didn’t bother asking someone from one of said websites how to set up their 416 (or bother acknowledging where they got their info in the first place).

Anyone notice anything wrong here? Who knows, maybe it’s the new gangsta model.

Grip Force Adapter

Tuesday, July 12th, 2011

Grey Group has just announced that they are carrying the Grip Force Adapter from Grip Force Products. Offered in Black or FDE, models are available for Gen 1,2,3 Glocks as well as Gen 4 Glocks. Mating with the backstrap of the Glock, it eliminates the drawbacks associated with permanent modifications to your factory pistol.

As you can see, the FDE does a pretty good job of matching Glock’s “Green” color. It looks promising, and Grey Group doesn’t sell junk, so I think I’ll try one out.
